Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only
Here’s my ‘68 pulling home a ‘69 CST Blazer from a local boarder (Blazer is gone, Burbon remains). I looked through my pics and all I have of it are shots of it dragging home something else. She’s a workhorse! Performs duty as my backup DD. Reliable as a rock but rides like one too. One of these days I’ll have to do something about that instead of the torched front coils.
Second pic is dragging my 72 Chevalier home

Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only
Here's a couple pics of the new 68 Burb. Thrilled to have tracked it down and now own it. I'll try to get some better pics to share.

Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only
Nice looking 68 KingsizeXL. Do you happen to have the paint code?

Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only
I'm assuming the paint code is usually on the Service Parts Identification in the glove box? That's why I joined this forum.. to get some knowledge, lol. Just let me know where to look and I'll be glad to post it.

Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only
Hoping it's not covered by that sticker? Supposedly it was owned by a Fire Station so I don't know about the color. Looks like it was probably repainted somewhere along the way.

Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only
Very nice King! She’s clean looking from here.
I don’t see an optional engine list on the SPID in the glovebox, so I assume 307 v8? I like the column shifted 3 speed too. Been discussed before but since you’re new - most consider it a pretty good theft deterrent- not many low life’s could figure out how to drive it even if you left the key in it! I’m looking at it on my phone so pretty small - how many seats does it have? They made narrow 2 person seats and also full width 3 person size.

Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only
Yep 307, 3 on the tree, pretty fun to drive. It's been taken good care of. It's only got one full size back seat and then the wayback has some "extra" holes in the floor where they might have put some equipment at one time. Also got some extra holes in the headliner and I'm guessing the roof at one time where lights or antennas might have been. Still has the call numbers for the Chief and other fireman taped to the sunvisor. Best of all it's only sporting 33,600 miles on it.

Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only
Outstanding- the mileage was going to be my next question about it. Still inside warranty!
This is a great forum you’ve joined. Post up any questions about her and this crew Will have the answers. I really like my 68 Suburban (rough as it is..), but yours is amazing. Good job bringing it home.

Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only
There was a thread on this burb when it was for sale. It was supposedly an ex fire dept rig. I didn't see a paint code on the spid. But it's close to the "Victory Red" that was on my 89 burb. I think the Victory Red is a tad bit darker though.

Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only
I can't remember ifit was on the suburban area or trucks. I believe it was on the Craig List thread.

Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only
Hello to the group! "Woody" here posting for the first time as I'm newly registered, but have been viewing your posts for over 5 years and would like to thank everyone for the education on 67-72 Suburbans. This forum assisted me in the selection of my 1972 C/10 9 passenger project I purchased in November 2017. My time (with the help of a mechanic friend) has been spent on the mechanicals to make it road-worthy and dependable, but I have also began to buff out the original paint. The Beach-Burban photographs nicely, but when you get close, you see how much work needs to be done. I hope to include pictures next time, however, when I try to attach photos from my computer I get an error message stating that I have a "security token" missing. I am not real proficient in computer usage, but have attached photos to e-mails before. If someone knows how to rectify, please let me know...otherwise, I'll contact an administrator as stated in the error message. Thanks again to all!

Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only
Hi Woody - thanks for posting. I know that some forums require a minimum number of posts before certain actions can be taken. There may be a few posts needed before you’re allowed to post pictures here?

Re: 67-72 Burbs and Panels 2wheel drive only
Thanks for the response Dale and fourspeedwagon...The error message did say that I was missing a "security token" so it sounds like something that needs to be "given". I'll see if I can figure out how to shrink my pictures and try that, however, my profile and avatar photos were from the same basic size group of photos and they went through easily? I'll also see if anything changes after I've been registered for a little longer before I contact an administrator.

Dale...I noticed you live in Fairfield. You're right across the bay from my brother who lives in Martinez. Lots of nice driving up there!

Looks good! Welcome to the board. I would have done the same as you, get it road worthy and drive the wheels off of it....  LockDoc
